Name of Shop: Starozitnosti Antiques
When we went to Prague, I must admit I was a little disappointed in the glass and crystal business going on there. It was SO over-priced.
I originally intended on buying a nice vase or something to bring home but between their prices and the current exchange rate, the prices were about the same price as at home!
Luckily, I happened upon this little antique shop down a side street and was able to purchase a beautiful vanity/perfume set for only $55US. And, it's vintage, which gives it much more character and history than a crystal vase that just rolled off the assembly line yesterday. And yes, I'm sure it's authentic! I know my glass ;)
I highly recommend looking for this (and other) antique shops so you can bring home a truly unique souvenir.
It's located off of Na Perstyne (the street we walked down to get to Tesco from our hotel) and not far from the Narodni Trida metro stop.
If you were at Tesco, standing in front of the store looking at it, you would walk to your left to the corner and then turn right and start walking up that road. A few blocks down there will be a side street to the rigtht with this antique store on it. (as of Dec. 2002 at least)
I'm so sorry I don't have the address! Hopefully the picture will help. :)
